Ripscroll — Remove Reels & Shorts.

The algorithm is not your friend. It is a machine that rents your attention by the second. Take the hours back.

They did not steal a minute. They stole a life, one reel at a time.

Short-form video is not entertainment. It is a slot machine pointed at your nervous system. Ripscroll keeps the parts of social media you actually use — messages, search, people — and cuts the feed that was designed to keep you there.

912 hours a year, if you give short video two or three hours a day. That is thirty-eight full days.

28 days to break the habit. The plan is personal. The enforcement is Apple’s Screen Time, not a suggestion.

0 Reels. Zero Shorts. Zero For You. The rest of the app stays. Your logins never touch us.

Mastery is subtraction.

Discipline is not willpower against a billion-dollar recommendation engine. Discipline is removing the machine from the room.

01

Pick the apps that pull you in

Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Snapchat — the ones you open without deciding to.

02

iOS shields the native apps

Screen Time blocks them even when Ripscroll is closed. One tap opens the clean browser instead.

03

Use them without the scroll

A signed filter engine hides Reels, Shorts, Explore, and the rest. Rules update on their own. No app update required.

Hold the cursor. Watch the word collapse. That is what the feed does to a day. Let go. It springs back. That is the point.

Your attention is the last unrenewable resource you still own.

Ripscroll does not delete Instagram. It does not lecture you. It gives you the product without the trap, and it keeps every login, cookie, and message on the device. Telemetry is counters of which filters matched — never URLs, never usernames, never the page.
